Ashli Skura Dreher

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Ashli Skura Dreher, and I am very excited to be your child’s teacher!

In 1995, I graduated from Canisius College with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education (N-6) and English (7-9), and I completed graduate studies at D’Youville College in 1998 earning a Master’s Degree in Special Education. In 2002, I earned a Certificate of Advanced Study from Buffalo State College in Educational Leadership. Presently, a doctoral student in the University of Rochester's Teaching and Curriculum Department, I am enjoying learning more about developing this lifeskills program to meet individual student needs.

In 2002, I became a National Board Certified Teacher, following a year of analyzing my teaching practices, and I joined a cadre of about 800 NBCT's in New York State that have earned teaching's highest honor. In 2014, I was selected as the NYS Department of Education's Teacher of the Year. Currently, I develop, host, and help produce an education television program called Inside the Classroom, which is shown on several stations throughout our state.
